Product Spotlight: Supercross BMX X Vans collab shoes

The Supercross BMX X Vans collab shoes, that celebrate 35 years of BMX goodness out of Supercross, have finally been released at 9am California time this morning. I might be a little late to the party this time around, but that’s because it was 2am and you know I need my beauty sleep, but that doesn’t mean I won’t celebrate this launch.

It’s hard to explain the excitement when two of your favourite brands get together for a collaboration. I’ve raced in Vans shoes for 4 decades and into my third decade on a Supercross, these suckers were made for me! When I first heard the news a few months back I expected this to be big but damn Supercross and Vans really nailed it with some iconic looking shoes.

Check em out.

Vans x Supercross BMX Old Skool Shoe

When BMX has been on your mind for over 4 decades, you need a shoe that is Specifically Designed with BMX in Mind

The BMX Old Skool has been our go-to shoe for years, and when it came time to create a special 35-year anniversary Supercross BMX / Vans® collaboration, there was no question that this had to be the first shoe we made. It has been formulated for modern riding. With an iconic look, maximum pedal feel, and enhanced cushioning, this vulcanized low-top silhouette offers unrivaled BMX innovation to support your progression. Now, we’ve added a Supercross BMX look and feel. We incorporated the design of the Dream Team Uniform and our iconic Supercross BMX colors of Yellow, Blue, Red, White, and Black, creating a shoe that isn’t over the top, but one you’ll want to wear every time you head to the track, the trails, the pump track, or out with friends.

VANS WAFFLECUP™ BMX CONSTRUCTION – A first of its kind in BMX, specifically designed to deliver the best combination of pedal feel, support, and durability.

UNRIVALED DURABILITY – Reinforced DURACAP™ underlays in high-wear areas add unrivaled durability to prolong the life of each shoe.

POPCUSH™ CUSHIONING – Our best cushioning and impact protection. PopCush™ energy return footbeds protect your feet while helping to lessen leg fatigue for longer sessions.

VDFPR (Van Doren Factory Pedal Recipe) – Tested and approved by the Vans® innovation team and the top factory team riders, this is our latest proprietary gum rubber compound, specifically formulated to enhance pedal grip and durability.

ICONIC STYLING – A mix of suede and 10 oz canvas has been used on the upper, maintaining the aesthetic of the original Old Skool™. And of course, we’ve included the 1 Bright Yellow Supercross BMX Eyelet.

Limited to 600 pairs worldwide.

Vans x Supercross BMX Era Shoe

From Skate Shoe to BMX Shoe to Streetwear Staple, with an Emphasis on Comfort

The Era was the first shoe designed by skateboarders, for skateboarders, in 1976. Then guess what? We BMXers took it and ran! The Era was perfect for us. An evolution of our original low-top silhouette, the Era placed an emphasis on comfort and style by debuting our famous padded collar. It was also our first shoe to feature the now-iconic Off The Wall heel tab and remains the shoe of choice for BMXers, skaters, surfers, and creatives worldwide.

When Stevie Van Doren approached us about doing a Supercross BMX / Vans® 35-year collaboration, we chose two shoes, and we knew that the Era had to be one of them. Back in the day, we used to go to the Vans® store in Anaheim, Torrance, or Redondo Beach, and since we couldn’t afford to buy a pair, we would buy just one shoe. The right shoe usually wore out first from using it as a brake since side-pull brakes sucked. So sometimes, we’d end up with mismatched shoes. It became a trend in the early ’80s among us poor BMXers—to have one shoe Red/Blue/Red and the other Gold/Blue/Gold, or a few other color combos that we could put together. Well, Stevie let me bring that into these ERA Supercross BMX / Vans® with the mismatched tongues. One is Red, one is Blue, and of course, there’s the one Bright Yellow Eyelet by the Supercross BMX “95” logo.

Vans x Supercross BMX Old Skool Shoe (Youth)

What kind of BMX Brand would we be if we didn’t introduce the 35 year anniversary Supercross BMX / Vans® in a youth size. While we could get as crazy as we did on the full size adult shoe, we made it a Mini Me Replica of the Adult version –

The Old Skool was our first footwear design to showcase the famous Vans Sidestripe—although back then, it was just a simple doodle drawn by founder Paul Van Doren. Since its debut in 1977, this low-top silhouette has established itself as an icon in the skate, music, and fashion scenes. From 90s street skaters and punks to current hip hop and fashion legends, the Big Kids Old Skool has consistently been the go-to shoe for creatives who do things their own way.

  • Iconic low-top, Sidestripe™ shoe
  • Suede and canvas uppers with a floral print
  • Lace-up closure
  • Reinforced toe caps
  • Supportive padded collars
  • Signature rubber waffle outsoles
  • Classic Old Skool™
  • Simple single Yellow Supercross Eyelet
  • Pop Cush inner sole so the little guys feet feel jsut as good as the big guys feet.
  • The Supercross BMX Team Colors of Blue / Yellow / Red / Black / White and we even have the Supercross Speed Checks on the side.  Not only do they look good they are fast.

Limited to 72 pcs Worldwide
